Enquiries

You can make enquiries using the online archives catalogue search to see the sort of records we hold or to look for something specific.

Or you are welcome to visit our Archive Centre - we are open to the public from Monday to Friday between 9am - 12 noon and 1pm - 5pm (by appointment). On your first vist you will be asked to bring proof of identification so that we can register you as a reader. We can arrange to stay open until 7.15pm on Tuesdays (as long as this has been arranged in advance with the Archivist).

There are no charges for using the Archive Centre. We charge for photocopying (25p for black and white copies, 35p for colour). Prices for scanned copies or digital photographs are £3.60 per image.

Some of the Council's archive records are stored elsewhere at Libraries, Museums and other Council buildings - ask staff for further details.
